OGTEleven Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) I just heard a song from Knopfler's new album. Rather than a Youtube link I'll paste the lyrics. The song is about a historical event (I knew nothing about it). Like many of Knopfler's songs you could practically make a movie from it. The movie The Founder was from a book but only because one of the writers or producers heard "Boom Like That" and decided it needed to be a movie. There are quotes in the movie taken directly from the song. I'm only posting the lyrics to this song because when I read the last two lines, it just blew me away with respect to what a talented songwriter he must be. The song is called Tunnel 13 In the Siskiyou Mountains, the old railroad winds Through the golds of the maples and the green of the pines Up to Tunnel 13, the Southern she climbs And three bandits waiting with evil in mind The D'Autremont brothers had chosen their road Chosen to live by a criminal code Word was the mail car was loaded with gold The brothers had heard it, or had maybe been told They wanted no witnesses, that was a fact The brothers were bent on a barbarous act Gold there was none, only sadness and tears And the law coming after them year after year Three bandits, hearts filled with resentment and hate Killed mail clerk Elvyn Daugherty, engineer Sydney Bates With shotgun and pistols, they were panicking when They killed brakeman Coyle Johnson and fireman Marvin Seng Robbing and looting is as old as the hills They're still jumping freight trains with crowbars and drills A hundred years later in Downtown LA They rob the Union Pacific damn near every day Four good men lay murdered in the dogwoods and pines Leaving widows and children and heartbreak behind Tunnel 13 is the place in the song Where the beautiful redwood for my guitar came from Edited April 16 by OGTEleven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behindenemylines Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Waiting for Columbus by Little Feet. incredible musicians and songs-the whole album. I have a friend who was basically a one hit wonder in the 70s who played with Little Feet for a while. Said they were by far the most talented he had ever played with -but also amongst the craziest group. He didn’t last long-outclassed on both fronts. and this guy is incredibly talented musically to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
